Reading/Websites and First Post!

Wanted to introduce myself here and ask for some reading sources for upcoming European application season.

I'm about to start my masters at a top European B-School after finishing a finance-related bachelors. I'm currently approaching the last week of a third summer internship, (my second one in finance) and have two weeks of holiday before studies and applications get into full swing.

Over the last few weeks I have realised how much wacky and interesting stuff exists in finance beside the perceived holy grail of BB IBD / PE / AM / MBB thanks to colleagues and my own reading. Wanted to ask if any of you have some hidden gems in the forms of websites/news sources/books/podcasts, anything really. So far i have the following:

IB: WSO of course, streetofwalls, breaking into wall street questions, 
PE: Capital allocators podcast, king of capital blackstone
Restructuring/credit: 9fin, reorg, restructuringinterviews
 

Wanted to ask if you guys have any other recommendations similar to those mentioned above that i can give a read when travelling etc. Appreciate your help.
